Majestic Haven

We had a brief snow squall this morning, quite unexpected, but it was nice. I grabbed my camera and went out to grab a few photos. This beautiful old church sits in the middle of town, I believe it was built in the early to mid 1800's. The snow provided a nice soft blur to the photo, and I like how it's hidden a bit behind the tree. My home town is blessed with several old churches like this, and one of these days I want to go through them. Hope you are all having a great Saturday.
Beautiful building

the snow on the shrubs adds wintery, chilly feeling.

Very beautiful :-)

Lovely architecture . . yes, I'd want to explore too! Love the softening of the snow effect.

Nice textures and composition. Looks like a beautiful church.

I agree, a little snow storm does lovely things to the scenery.

Very nice shot! That church looks interesting...I bet the inside is amazing.

Beautiful church, Rick. You really should try to go inside some of them. I have a new column for the local paper called "Where We Worship" and I was inside a simply gorgeous Episcopal church today for a tour. You would have loved it. It had gorgeous wooden pews with nautical carvings on each one and beautiful stained glass windows. Sadly, it was too dark to get good photos there today.

Very pretty with the snow dusting. I also love old churches.

Beautifully composed. Looking forward to some of your shots on the inside when you have time. This one looks like it would be quite grand. Nice shot.

It looks way too cold for me. That is the time to build a fire and stay home! But you did a great job! Glad you ventured out!

Beautiful shot. Love how you composed it.
February 26th, 2012  
Nicely composed - like the softness of the snow.

Ricksterrrrrrrrr. What are you doing with another cold?? So much going around. It hasn't interfered with your ability to take another awesome shot, however. This is majestic!!! Love it.

Wow the tree is as high as the church steeples. it kind of frames the church which is very beautiful and you're so lucky to live in an old town with so many interesting buildings..would love to see pictures of the inside.
